Calendar items not sent to new members of group
Hello, I have created some calendar items in outlook that are sent to a group. Whenever I make a change in that group (either add or delete members) this calendar item is not updated. This means that new group members do not receive an invitation for existing meetings. What I need to do to resolve this, is to edit each such meeting, eg make a change in description, and then send it again. Only this way the new group members will get invited. I come from Google, where this feature works flawlessly and it seems very strange for outlook to force me to update each calendar item, just to update the recipients. It kind of defeats the whole purpose of using groups in calendar. Is there any way you can fix this please? Thank you! Kostas
O365 Group - multiple calendars?
Hello all, Full disclosure - new to Office 365 Groups and newer than new with Sharepoint in general, but I believe we have a use case in our organization, I am just trying to flush it all out. I have a group of 5 trainers that are mostly remote and cover different geographic areas coordinating different training seminars. Currently they use Google Docs and Calendar for everything. I am thinking I can replace this with an O365 group - but I do have a question. Is it possible to have multiple calendars within a O365 group. I believe we have 5 or 7 geographic areas that we run these seminars in. In their google account they have 1 calendar per region where they track the seminar schedule. Anyone have any experience with this? Thanks Steve
Delete, unshare, or hide an Office 365 Group's calendar
I see that when creating an Office 365 Group that a calendar is also automatically created for that group and that it appears in the list of calendars for all members of the Group regardless of their follow status of the group. My users would rather not have any calendars for Groups. How can I remove or hide them for the members of the Group?Invite who you want in group calendars
Good news! We've heard your feedback here on Tech Community as well as UserVoice that you really just want to: Put something on a shared group calendar Pick whomever you want to invite, which may not be the group itself. Over the next few days, you will have more options when managing your group calendar: Just invite anyone you want. If you want to invite the entire group, simply add the group to the attendees list. This change gives a lot more flexibility to the group calendar surface: Invite no one: this is good for putting milestones on the calendar as a visual reminder that it's coming up. If you want to add a copy of it to your own personal calendar, you can "Add to my calendar". This is also great for a vacation calendar, where you can create a ? vacation ? event on the group calendar. "Brownbag-style events": A lunchtime learning session is typically not mandatory for attendees, but is required for the organizer and the presenter. Now, you can create an event on the group calendar and add specific individuals without adding the group itself to the attendees list. This way, those individuals will get an invite from the group, and group members can freely add the event to their calendars. This is also good if you want your vacation time on the group calendar, as well as your manager's calendar. Invite the group and anyone else: For group meetings where you'd like everyone in the group to attend and edit, this is best. This is particularly handy for recurring meetings that take place over the course of many months where the a single organizer may not be around for its entire desired lifetime (i.e., if someone goes on vacation or leaves the team). Across Outlook, not much is changing: In Outlook for Windows, removing the group from a group meeting will now, in fact, actually not sent the group an invitation. In the new Outlook on the web, we've updated the tooltips to match the functionality. In the classic Outlook on the web, we won't be supporting this update. In Outlook for iOS and Android, group calendaring is coming soon. 😉 Try it out, and let us know what you think! Cheers, EthanRestrict group calendar edit permissions?
For our org wide team, we would like to start posting events to the group calendar, but want to restrict who can do this. I found a couple of threads like this one from 4-5 years ago indicating that this wasn't fully possible at the time, but I'm hoping it has changed in the interim. Is it possible to change group calendar permission to read only for members, and grant specific people write access?
Request response replies do not appear to be accessible when sending a meeting invite from a group?
When sending a meeting invite from a Group Calendar, it appears that the Accept/Tentative/Decline responses from group members are 'silent' - meaning they do not go back to the group conversation folder or to the inbox of the user who created the meeting in the Group Calendar. I realize you can click into the invite to see who accepted or declined but often we have users who choose 'Edit the Response Before Sending' and their assumption is that we'll get their message. Is anyone else experiencing this issue or know of a workaround? Or maybe I'm missing something? TIA!
